Gammaentomopoxvirus is a genus of viruses, in the family Poxviridae, in the subfamily Entomopoxvirinae. Lepidoptera and orthoptera insects serve as natural hosts. There are six species in this genus.[1][2]
As of 2020, no vaccine is commercially available. Immunity appears to be largely strain specific. An experimental vaccine is in development against the 2007 Georgia isolate currently circulating, which is attenuated by deletion of the viral I177L gene.[17]

The appearance of ASF outside Africa at about the same time as the emergence of AIDS led to some interest in whether the two were related, and a report appeared in The Lancet supporting this in 1986.[81] However, the realization that the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) causes AIDS discredited any potential connection with ASF.[citation needed]
